Along both of the aforementioned paths of research, one begins to form an imaginative picture of the interconnection at work in each of the preparations. Yet this interconnection of ideas becomes fully saturated with experience only when one allows it to become deed through practiced repetition. In living through the reality-engendering power of the idea in the making of the preparations, ever deeper layers of understanding open themselves up. One experiences oneself — like the artist — as the mediator who implants into matter something that, as a result of spiritual research, comes alive in soul-perception. The spirit-content of the idea, illuminating itself ever more brightly within one's own being, is the guarantee that the action arising from it is no mere act of caprice. For the action in the process of preparation-making creates relationships between natural objects — for example, dandelion blossoms and the enveloping peritoneum of the cow — that are not the outflow of an operative law of nature. It is grounded not in nature, not in any force (will) inherent to her, but in knowledge of the spirit, which, through the human will, implants itself into the course of nature as an effective agent.
